You never know what you’re gonna get. But you can be sure that it’ll be damn tasty. This year’s Nemisis is a Barleywine that clocks in at 12% ABV.

Description:“Join The Ginger Man on September 1st for “Back to (Beer) School: Mikkeller”. Get schooled on hops and yeast! We will be featuring Mikkeller’s Single Hop Series and their Yeast Series. The beers in the Single Hop Series use a control recipe with a different hop in each brew, showcasing the flavors and aromas of one variety of hop. Same rules for the Yeast Series, this time with varying yeast strands. The Single Hop Series will be on draught and the Yeast Series will be in bottle format. The story of Mikkeller is the story of two young home brewers, who in a few years went from hobby brewing at home in the kitchen to national and international recognition. Already in Mikkeller’s first year as a brewery, the two creators, Mikkel Borg Bjergso and Kristian Klarup Keller, were named Danish brewery of the year and the fifth best brewery in the world. Come sample some unique beers and learn your hops and yeast. It’s research!”
